I liked the lengthy explanation.

Puts a whole lot more meat on the bones for offensive rebounding and transition defense other than "crash the glass but hustle back on D" verbiage.

Changing the System...
GCHokie34 • 06/26/25 03:00 PM ET
Can they defend? I think that's why we didn't make NCAA tournment in
icelus • 06/28/25 12:27 PM ET
When your best defender is injured, it kinda hurts your ability to defend.
hokieZ71 • 06/29/25 08:37 AM ET
Certainly cost them a bid in 2022-23 & 23-24.**

Seems to me he didn't so much change system, but tweaked it / adjusted it
vtox1 • 06/28/25 01:25 AM ET
Pay article worthy stuff **
HokiesACC2004 • 06/27/25 02:42 PM ET
I agree. This is great stuff
mateo • 06/27/25 07:22 PM ET
Yeah, this board is pretty much dead most of the time. **
SC_Hokie • 06/29/25 02:59 PM ET
Much appreciated. Some couldnt handle so many words**

Great coaches tweak, not overhaul
1980VT • 06/27/25 11:18 AM ET
Do you think we will see more high post touches to initiate the offense
Gobbler95 • 06/27/25 10:35 AM ET
I do think so...
GCHokie34 • 06/27/25 12:57 PM ET
Why didn't MY abandon the high post and free up the wings another way? **
jrc3rd • 06/27/25 03:42 PM ET
Because freeing up the wings isn't the only goal
GCHokie34 • 06/27/25 03:55 PM ET
It’s also easier to “lift” post defenders when the posts can shoot
hokiepro • 06/27/25 11:56 PM ET
Thank you, great read.**
Tech76G • 06/27/25 05:18 AM ET
A lot of words, indeed, but informative and worth the read. Thanks**
Jmac610 • 06/27/25 01:12 AM ET
Basketball guys sure load up on words when they explain. **
Stork • 06/27/25 12:38 PM ET
Some like to hear themselves type ! **
uber hokie • 06/28/25 09:58 PM ET
Last time I checked there’s only a few who routinely fill this board.
SC_Hokie • 06/29/25 03:01 PM ET
I liked the lengthy explanation. ◄
Walkin` Willie • 06/28/25 01:30 PM ET
Awww too many words? So sowwy**
GCHokie34 • 06/27/25 12:49 PM ET
Hey, no problem. I believe the term is prolix. We learned in freshman
Stork • 06/27/25 01:35 PM ET
Yes, if there's one thing we know...
GCHokie34 • 06/27/25 01:41 PM ET
Quite an AH.**
Blueboy • 06/27/25 10:13 PM ET
You're absolutely correct about ORing. That was very noticeable last year.**
IB4TECH • 06/26/25 07:32 PM ET
Great info. Another question or two for you.
win-tech • 06/26/25 07:14 PM ET
If it were up to me...
GCHokie34 • 06/26/25 08:05 PM ET
Any thoughts on the new 32-game schedule rule for 26-27?**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 06/27/25 09:17 AM ET
I think it depends on how teams use it
GCHokie34 • 06/27/25 12:30 PM ET
We also can't be stomped in the ACC-SEC Challenge.
EDGEMAN • 06/27/25 09:12 AM ET
I mean...sure
GCHokie34 • 06/27/25 12:42 PM ET
Some relevant comparisons...
GCHokie34 • 06/26/25 03:25 PM ET
Appreciate advanced info like this!
4dhokies • 06/26/25 04:55 PM ET
Good stuff. Thanks.**
